Fraud & Improper Payments

Anticipate. Protect. Prevent.

Better understand your overall exposure. Get cross-channel visibility in a single view. Use entity link analysis to reveal hidden relationships and suspicious associations among customers, accounts or other entities early in their life cycles.

Score 100% of all transactions in real time. Make faster, more-informed decisions through real-time integration with authorization systems around the globe.

Data that’s consistent, accurate and timely. An enterprise approach to data management and consolidation brings together cross-channel data – from all lines of business, organizational units and geographic regions – on a single platform.

Excellence in high-performance analytics. Tackle your most difficult challenges, and solve even the most vexing problems quickly – no matter how big the data nor how complex the analysis – with high-performance analytics built with analytical workloads in mind.

Constant vigilance. We have Centers of Excellence around the world staffed with experts in fraud, compliance and advanced analytics – across all industry sectors – to keep you on top of the latest technology developments and evolving fraud trends.

A better customer experience and up to 76% fewer false positives. Predictive alert analytics lets you automate decisions and score risk before beginning an investigation. And our patented signature approach lets you link and simultaneously monitor multiple accounts belonging to the same customer.

Flexible implementation. A common technology foundation and modular solutions mean that you can start where your needs are greatest and add on as needed. Multiple deployment options – infused with best practices from hundreds of successful implementations – minimize your capital investment and simplify IT operations, while getting you up and running fast.

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all fraud solution. That’s why we offer solutions tailored to specific industry needs, including:

Regulatory Compliance

Rise to the challenge of growing global compliance demands.

Take a risk-based approach to monitoring transactions for illicit activity. Avoid the fines and penalties associated with regulatory noncompliance. And safeguard your organization’s reputation. Our solutions provide more complete protection and the ability to:

Monitor more risks in less time. Test, tune and simulate scenarios in seconds, not hours. High-performance analytics lets you process big data from virtually any source. And add numerous scenarios and risk factors with little to no impact on processing time.

Strengthen model governance. Make sure your models are always accurate and up-to-date by establishing consistent, repeatable processes throughout the modeling life cycle. You can compare multiple models in real time and get best-fit model recommendations. The system also keeps track of all changes and who made them for greater transparency and governance.

Reduce compliance risk while lowering costs. Focus investigations on the most critical cases by using predictive alert analytics to score alerts before an investigation begins. You can reduce false positives up to 97 percent, cut time needed for triage, and use investigative resources more efficiently.

Enhanced customer due diligence. Automatically integrate customers’ on-board risk scores with actual transactional behavior. Identify high- and medium-risk customers so you can monitor them more closely. And review a customer’s risk classification as needed.

Greater transparency. Automated business process workflows ease your compliance burden by providing a detailed audit trail of system activities. All scenarios and risk factors are clearly documented, and contextual "red flags" indicate why one event is considered riskier than another.

Fast implementation. Our financial services-specific data model is optimized for financial crimes analytics, and it incorporates data management best practices from more than a hundred successful implementations. The result? You can get up and running quickly.

Expertise you can count on. Every compliance solution we sell is backed by nearly four decades of experience and know-how. We’ve got on-staff experts in fraud and compliance. And we continually work with our customers to improve our compliance analytics methodology.

Public Security

Spend less time investigating crime, more time preventing it.

Respond faster and more effectively to crime, terrorism and other security threats with a cohesive, analytics-based approach to risk and threat assessment. A single platform gives all agencies a unified view of information across all stages of the intelligence life cycle, so you can:

Ensure accurate, reliable intelligence. Give law enforcement and others fast access to trustworthy information. Direct, track and audit information as it moves through your systems – from planning and collecting to processing, analyzing and disseminating – throughout the intelligence life cycle.

Quickly assess security threats and evaluate future risks. Use advanced analytics and data visualization to spot trends and connections that may indicate threats hidden in huge volumes of data. Then send alerts to commanders and officers so they can act quickly.

Stop crime through preventive policing. Conduct more targeted, productive investigations by analyzing and simulating risks to determine which actions are most likely to produce desired outcomes.

Better manage borders. Give agents a big-picture view of all information so they can distinguish between suspicious and legitimate travelers and freight in real time.

A unified view of intelligence from a single data management platform. Access, integrate, cleanse and standardize security data from virtually any source or format. Automatically link related information across systems to ensure consistency. And interactively exchange reliable information across different platforms and agencies.

Cybersecurity

Preserve trust through proactive protection.

Get ahead of cybersecurity threats so you’re not looking backwards while the next attack is emerging. Bring together all your data, enrich it with contextual information and apply behavioral analytics to reveal complex patterns, trends and anomalies. Then take action to protect your network from cybercrime and data breaches – and safeguard your organization's reputation. With SAS, you can:

Take a unique approach that can truly prevent breaches and data loss. Use industry-leading, high-performance behavioral analytics to look at all actions on your network in real time to spot abnormalities – whether they originate outside or inside your organization – that may indicate occupational fraud, zero-day vulnerabilities and advanced persistent threats (APTs).

Keep up with changing trends and risks. Shift your security focus from data collection and storage to data enrichment, analysis and event prioritization so you can stay on top of the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Lower your total cost of ownership while increasing scalability. Better manage your data infrastructure and reduce the amount of data stored by concentrating on the intelligence within your data.

Empower your security analysts to be as effective as possible. Use analytics to prioritize security events, and provide contextual information to help streamline investigations.

Proven experience and expertise. Nearly 40 years ago, SAS pioneered the use of behavioral analytics to solve complex business problems. Today, our industry-leading big data analytics and experience in real-time decisioning can help you anticipate and mitigate cyberevents.
